Metro

The Metro is Washington, D.C.’s subway rail and bus system. The Metrorail consists of five color-coded lines that provide transport throughout the District of Columbia and into Virginia and Maryland. The lines are connected to each other, and some destinations require a line change. Metro’s Trip Planner feature allows you to map and price your subway and bus options for travel between any two destinations in the D.C. metro area. A SmarTrip Card is a convenient way of using Metro rail and bus, that cuts down on travel time, allows you to store money on a more sturdy plastic card, and provides a discount on fares.
